Monaco national football team

Template:Short description {{#invoke:Hatnote|hatnote}} Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox National football team

The Monaco national football team is a national side that represents Monaco in association football. The team is controlled by the Monégasque Football Federation, the governing body for all football in Monaco. Monaco is not a member of FIFA or UEFA, and therefore cannot enter the FIFA World Cup nor the UEFA European Championship.<ref name="GMS"/> Monaco was a founding member of the N.F.-Board in 2003, and finished second in the 2006 VIVA World Cup inaugural edition. However, due to political opposition, Monaco severed ties with the organization in 2010.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Although Monaco has a National Olympic Committee and has therefore been eligible for the Summer Olympics and Mediterranean Games, they have never entered either games' football tournaments.<ref name="GMS">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

History

Beginnings

After the foundation of the Monégasque Football Federation in April 2000, Monaco played its first match in June of the same year against Gibraltar, losing 5–0. After this match, Monaco would return to play a match a year later against Tibet, in Freiburg, in Germany, winning 2–1.

Overview

Since 2001, Monaco has participated in twenty-seven games, winning eight, drawing six, and losing thirteen. The team competes against local clubs, nations, unrecognized states, people groups, and territories. Monaco is managed by Martino López, and competes at the Stade Didier Deschamps in Cap-d'Ail, France.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> According to Elo Ratings, Monaco is ranked 200th in the world as of November 2020.<ref name=autogenerated2>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
